Detect if parent object has technical issues.

[Anders]

Hi,

I'm trying to configure my object browser in the NetXMS Console by some sort of a hierarchy. I have tried to outline an example of what I'm creating down bellow with geographical location, network and then a container for the sort of service that the underlying hosts are providing and furthest out are the services.

If we for example lose the connection to our co-location (between Stockholm and London), we would get an alarm for each node. Is it possible to somehow identify if the "parent" object (in this case Stockholm) has connection "issues" before the host-down alarm is triggered by each node?

Or is there some other (smarter) way to do this?

Thanks for a great monitoring tool!

Hi!

You need to control communication with the site somehow, by pinging router for example. Then you can use situation objects to do manual event correlation. Also, if NetXMS server knows the whole route from itself to managed nodes and has all routers entered as managed nodes as well, it tries to do automatic event correlation based on network topology.
